Pierluigi Isola was born in Rome, where he lives and works.

Son of an artist, he began his early dialogue with images and colors in his father Giancarlo's studio, where he had the opportunity to learn the foundational grammar of pictorial language. In the early years of his training, he attended lessons by Piero Guccione, an artist who taught him the particular ability to relate to reality by capturing its most intimate and hidden aspects. His work is consistently focused on the subtle relationships between the sensible reality and the imaginal world. His research path places him in constant dialogue with tradition, leading him to rediscover and deepen seldom-used techniques, such as egg tempera on panel and intaglio printmaking.

He has held solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, including the XII Quadriennale Italia 1950–1990 Ultime generazioni at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, and the 54th Venice Biennale, Italy Pavilion, Corderie dell’Arsenale, Venice.

His works are present in private and public collections such as Panorama Museum in Bad Frankenhausen, Germany, where a retrospective of his work was held this year; MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Chamber of Deputies, Rome; Basilica of S. Clemente, Rome; Central Institute for Graphic Arts, Rome; Pinacoteca Comunale d’Arte Contemporanea, Gaeta; Vatican Apostolic Library, Vatican City State.
